Definitions
- Torque-proportioning differentials of the helical gear type having an inherent friction torque bias are well known in the art, as evidenced, for example, by the prior U.S. patents to Myers No. 3,706,239 and Dissett et al No. 4,365,524, each assigned to the same assignee as the present invention.
- the torque delivery gear elements of a helical gear differential may be designed to develop an inherent friction torque bias as relative motion occurs owing to the differentiating action of the mechanism.
- a plurality of discrete pairs of pinion cavities are provided in the housing in circumferentially spaced relation about, and in communication with, the central chamber in the opposite ends of which are mounted the helical side gears.
- Mounted with an outside diameter running fit in the pinion cavities are a pair of longitudinally offset helical pinions which are in enmeshing engagement at their adjacent ends, the remote ends of the pinions being in enmeshing engagement with the side gears that are internally splined to, and are concentrically mounted on, the output shafts, respectively.
- the transverse forces caused by the gear tooth loadings on the pinions cause an inherent frictional resistance at the outside diameter fit, thus introducing an inherent torque bias.
- the magnitude of the bias torque is proportional to the transverse gear tooth loading, which in turn is proportional to the torque transmitted through the differential assembly.
- the helix angle of the gears introduces an axial thrust on the respective differential pinions causing a frictional drag owing to the frictional engagement of the axial ends of the pinions with the bases of the pinion cavities of the differential carrier housing.
- the friction due to the reaction forces on the housing at the axial ends of the meshing pinions is created by the thrust forces of the helix angle of the gears. These friction forces on the housing complement the friction forces created by reason of the sliding contact of the addendum surfaces of the pinions on the circular walls of the pinion cavities. Because of the disposition of the pinion cavities in discrete pairs, the housing more completely surrounds the pinions than would be the case if the pinions were not located in discrete pairs.
- the friction forces can be varied by altering the diameter of the pinions, their circular pitch or their helix angles, thereby providing parameters that can be varied to suit several particular design requirements. Also, the numbers of pair of pinions may be varied to provide a different bias torque.
- the tooth forces acting on the meshing pinions also have a radial component due to the pressure angle of the pinion teeth. This tends to cause the individual pinions to become misaligned or cocked with respect to each other.
- the presence of the axial gear tooth forces due to the helix angle induces also a cocking couple which tends to increase the cocking force couple cause by the radial force component in the case of one pinion as it is reduced in the case of the other.
- the force couples induced by the helix angle are in addition to the end thrust forces on the housing and the reaction thrust forces on the side gears.
- the forces on the side gears cause a force imbalance due to the presence of friction in the pinion meshes and the presence of friction between the housing and the pinions. This results in a primary force on one side gear that is different than the reaction force on the opposite side gear.
- the transverse forces at the point of mesh of the pinions of each pair which are distributed to the surrounding housing wall are greater than the corresponding transverse forces that would exist at the pinion mesh points of prior art differential gear arrangements where a full circle of pinions is used. The transverse loads at the pinion mesh points in such prior art arrangements tend to cancel each other.
- the present invention was developed as an improvement over these known differential mechanisms, whereby the manufacturing costs would be reduced, and the machining accuracies would be increased.
- a primary object of the present invention is to provide an improved differential of the torque-proportioning helical gear type in which the housing includes a body member to one end of which is removably connected a cover member, said one end of the body member containing a plurality of discrete pairs of longitudinal pinion cavities circumferentially spaced about a central longitudinal bore.
- the cover section is preferably piloted to the body section, thereby to assist the assembly and mutual alignment of the various differential components.
- the pinion cavities of each pair are of unequal depth, means being provided for maintaining the remote ends of the associated longitudinally offset helical pinions adjacent end thrust surfaces on the body and cover sections, respectively.
- the pinion mounted in the deeper cavity is provided with a hub extension that extends axially for engagement at its free end with an end thrust surface on the cover section.
- the other helical pinion has a length which corresponds with the shallower pinion cavity, whereby one end face of this pinion is maintained adjacent an end thrust surface on the cover section.
- a gear spacer element is provided in end thrust supporting relation between the helical side gears which are mounted in opposite ends of the central chamber for enmeshing engagement with the remote end portions of the longitudinally offset helical pinions, respectively.
- the spacer contains a radial through bore in which is mounted a center shaft spacer member that extends radially in supporting relation between the axially spaced output shafts.
- a lateral access window is provided in the housing body for radially inserting the central spacer element between the adjacent shaft ends after C-shaped locking devices have been mounted in corresponding grooves provided in the adjacent end portions of the axle shafts, respectively, thereby to prevent outward axial movement of the output shafts relative to the associated side gears, respectively.
- the differential housing is formed from nodular iron, thereby to improve machinability and reduce heat treatment distortion.
- the housing can be hardened by suitable heat treatment.
- the housing can be formed from carburized and hardened steel.
- the side gear chamber and the pinion cavities preferably are machined in one set up, thereby reducing machine error between related pinion cavities.
- the side gear cavity is formed in a single pass. Owing to the provision of the hardened thrust surfaces on the housing and the cover, the necessity of separate thrust washers is eliminated.
- the simplified design of the differential reduces manufacturing problems without adversely affecting performance. The necessity for machining the unit after final assembly is avoided, thereby reducing the possibility of metal chips contaminating the internal function of the unit.

- a pair of helical side gears 12 and 14 Arranged at each end of the chamber defined by central bore 6 are a pair of helical side gears 12 and 14 the remote ends of which include axial hub extensions 12a and 14a that are journalled in corresponding bores contained in the body and cover sections, respectively.
- the body and cover sections contain on the longitudinal axis of the housing aligned outlet shaft openings 2c and 2d that receive the adjacent ends of a pair of aligned axially spaced output shafts 16 and 18 to which the side gears 12 and 14 are splined, respectively.
- a generally annular side gear spacer 20 Arranged coaxially in contiguous engagement between the adjacent ends of the side gears 12 and 14 is a generally annular side gear spacer 20.
- the side gear spacer is of generally C-shaped configuration and has at each end flat thrust bearing surfaces containing a plurality of spaced radially extending oil distribution grooves 20a.
- the corresponding faces of the side gears may contain similar radially extending oil distribution grooves, as shown by the grooves 12b of FIG. 9.
- the gear spacer contains a radially extending through bore 20b for receiving an output shaft spacer element, as will be described below.
- each pair of pinion cavities 8 and 10 are helical pinions 24 and 26, respectively.
- These pinions which have right and left hand helix angles, respectively, are in enmeshing engagement at their adjacent ends, and at their remote ends, the pinions are in enmeshing engagement with the helical side gears 12 and 14 having corresponding left and right helix angles, respectively.
- the cavities 8 containing the pinions 24 have a greater depth than the cavities 10 containing the pinions 26.
- the depth of each cavity 10 corresponds with the length of each correponding pinion 26, whereupon the rignt hand end surface of each pinion 26 (as shown in FIG.
- the pinions 24 are provided on their right hand ends with integral hub extensions 24a that extend longitudinally of the pinion cavities 8 for engagement at their free ends with corresponding end thrust surfaces on the cover section 2b.
- the helical pinions 26 are provided with oil receiving recesses 26a, and the left hand end surface of the pinion 24 and the end surface of the pinion hub extension 24a are provided with oil receiving recesses 24b.
- the housing body section 2a contains intermediate its ends an access window 30 which affords access for securing a C-shaped locking device to the end of each output shaft within the housing, thereby to prevent outward movement of the output shafts relative to their respective side gears.
- a cylindrical spacer member 34 is introduced between the adjacent output shaft ends via the access window 30 and the radial opening 20b contained in the gear spacer member 20, which spacer member is bolted by bolt 36 to an integral lateral extension 2c of the body section, thereby to prevent rotation of the spacer member 20 relative to the housing 2.
